I meet her in Wyoming at the Cheyenne rodeo   Just a girl in blue jeans and eighteen at the time   I remember how she cheered the day I rode a horse called Midnight   And I hoped that someday that cowgirl could be mine   She followed me to Denver where we became good friends   We'd sit around the cutes and talk while I was killin' time   I'd laugh and tell her stories but I'd never mention stayin'   For the next town and the rodeo were always on my mind   I'm a rodeo cowboy I follow the circuit   Where top money's paid that's where I'll be found   The only thing I own is a suitcase and a saddle   Rodeo cowboy I'll never settle down      In Salt Lake City Utah I told her that I loved her   But still she knew I wasn't born to be the settlin' kind   For with tomorrow's sun I'd pack up my ol gear bag   And leave all thoughts of her and all the hundred miles behind   The last time I saw her was in Amarillo Texas   I'm still in love with her although she can't be mine   But I hope she'll keep the shinny silver buckle that I gave her   Says All Around Cowboy of 1969   I'm a rodeo cowboy...
